Steven Smith Teamaker is a small batch & handcrafted tea company based out of Portland, Oregon. Founded by Steven Smith, who is known for his former role in co-founding Stash, the worlds’s first specialty tea company. From Stash, he became the wizard of Tazo-“the reincarnation of tea”- and eventually sold the company to Starbucks, before moving to France to “retire.” Before not long, he had another “a-ha!” moment in which was born the idea for yet another tea company. But this time, Smith’s approach was smaller, sourcing only the best teas & botanicals ingredients from countries all over the world, such as India, China, Shri Lanka and Africa. Blended with total transparency, each tea begins with a moment of inspiration and is transformed by three essential ingredients: origin, craft and creativity.
